Crossing the Loboc River

One of the best things to do when one visits the Bohol Province in the Philippines is to visit the town of Loboc and ride one of the "floating restaurants"--these big rafts, accommodating around 20-40 customers, wade through the lengthy Loboc River for around an hour while customers enjoy the sights of nature and the buffet being offered during the trip.

 

Part of the trip is a stop-over which features a group of choir stationed at a float at the middle of the river course. These entertainers perform native Boholano and Filipino songs and the national dance tinikling--performed with two lengthy bamboo trunks being struck together as the dancing pair dips and avoids getting their feet being stuck or hit by the same bamboo trunks.
